Vaush, the streamer that the linked subreddit is based around. Around the start of this year (or maybe it was around the end of last year, internet stuff makes the memory hazy) he was going through his folders on stream and people saw his porn stash, recognized the names of the artists as "lolicon artists" specializing in horse-related bestiality, etc.
There were several streams on that "H3" guy's channel that brought a lot of attention to it outside of the typical online politics circles. He was getting roasted for it for weeks, but then I guess a big chunk of his audience decided they were cool watching him until he fully Mr. Hands-es himself and dies.
All "megachurches" should be burned to the ground, or converted into public shelters (disaster shelters, homeless shelters, whatever) where applicable.
Bad because of its association with the SPD in Germany using it as an expression of "both sides" style anti-communism ( "we oppose all forms of authoritarianism, now off to snitch out Rosa and the KPD to the freikorps so they all get murdered!"), which helped usher in Nazism.
IMO, if a symbol has any significant popularity among western leftists in particular, it probably sucks.
In my experience as well as several people I've known, it actually can work to start by substituting your alcohol consumption with a different, less destructive drug like weed for example, replace your drinking habit with smoking weed, then ween off the weed (smoking all the time is still bad for you, but it's less bad than drinking and easier / safer to quit).
The world does not revolve around the US, people in the Kremlin have agency.
I hear this kind of line so often to dismiss the influence the US has globally. It completely misses the point. The US is effectively still the most powerful country on earth, meaning they're a major part of the broader geopolitical landscape that everybody else must respond to.
Notice also that this "well people in the Kremlin have agency, we didn't literally force them to invade smol ukraini" reasoning goes away when they want to talk about Chinese loans in Africa, or how Georgia's foreign influence bill is some sort of Russian plot.
I sympathize with your feelings. In my admittedly somewhat vibes-based estimation, the role of the US in the coming decades -- probably for the rest of my life -- is simply to decline and give way to a new world. Or nuke everybody like an asshole.
Our only meaningful job as western leftists -- historically the shittiest, least accomplished leftists -- is basically harm reduction to try and ensure that as many working class people survive into whatever world awaits.
Remember when some Canadian sniper named Wambo or something was supposed to change the whole game, but then he just went to Ukraine, clogged up their toilets with nasty poutine shits, and left? This reminds me of that.
I've never watched a "Critical Drinker" video, but pre-emptively blocked their channel on the basis that their name sounds like one of those guys whose whole personality is being an annoying drunk, and I noticed they talk a lot about Star Wars and Disney shit, and I just don't think that adult men (specifically those who don't even seem to have kids?) should have strong opinions on media that is mostly targeted at little girls.
He came up with pseudo-psychological categories to pathologize the people online that anger him, when he could have just given food or money to a homeless person instead smh.

Get Hilldawg on that ticket, stat. Also I just found out stat is short for statim in that context, which is just Latin for "immediately."
